  • Опубликовано: 4 сен 2024
  • Dr. Benjamin Bikman earned his Ph.D. in Bioenergetics and was a postdoctoral fellow with the Duke-National University of Singapore in metabolic disorders. He is currently a professor of pathophysiology and a biomedical scientist at Brigham Young University in Utah.
    Dr. Bikman's professional focus as a scientist and professor is to better understand chronic modern-day diseases, with a special emphasis on the origins and consequences of obesity and diabetes, with an increasing scrutiny of the pathogenicity of insulin and insulin resistance. He frequently publishes his research in peer-reviewed journals and presents at international science meetings.
    Dr. Bikman has long been an advocate of a ketogenic diet in light of the considerable evidence supporting its use as a therapy for reversing insulin resistance. His website InsulinIQ.com promotes dietary clarity, healing, and freedom through evidence-based science about insulin resistance. Employing cell-autonomous to whole-body systems, Dr. Bikman's recent efforts have focused on exploring the intimate associations between the metabolic and immune systems.

      @KenDBerryMD but I'm confused... so Dr. Bikman is saying that there's more autophagy with 24hr fast + STEAK (higher glucagon -insulin ratio) compared to a straight 48 hour fast (less glucagon spike even if lower insulin) ?

    Thank you for this. I have been on a Carnivore Eating Plan for 60 days. I was 392 pounds when I started. Today I was 365 pounds. I am losing 0.45 pounds per day. I eat Beef, Bacon, Eggs, Butter, and Water, and some Electrolytes. My brain fog and depression have disappeared. My 90 day decision, I will try to figure out if I can add some vegetables back into my plan. I am about to go get my blood checked after a 14 hour fast. My Dr. says eating protein and fat will kill me. Well, it's either eat low carb/Carnivore or not live a great life at all. So I am pushing forward to health..

    Man, this lecture is so relevant! Earlier this year I competed in a Figure Competition and won 2nd place. I was able to get down to 11% body fat with no anabolic steriods used. Also experienced *no* detrimental health effects (think thinning hair, brain fog, or brittle nails, etc) that most competitive Figure women experience close to a show. I was able to do this all on a Carnivore Diet, and this video proves why it worked so well for me. I was able to maintain excellent muscle density up to the show, and maintain good energy up until about 30 days close to the show (I don't care who you are, that's normal.) Even now, 6 months later, I still have great muscle density and am not training near what I was anymore. This gave me a lot to think about in regards to energy and protein consumption. Thanks, Dr. Bikman!!

We can’t assume that eating meat is eating meat - studies suggesting higher meat consumption is harmful to health could be completely irrelevant to a person on a low carb or carnivore diet- someone in a completely different context than someone on the SAD.

In the long run glucagon does go down but there are indeed clear spikes round the time of the alanine infusion. There's probably a complicated explanation for this which goes a bit too far for this presentation.

    Benjamin Bikman is at the cutting edge of the latest research into the way our bodies work. His lecture about uncoupled mitochondria via brown fat adipose tissue was equally enlightening. A must watch for anyone into low carb diets and anyone just interested in the physiology of nutrition mixed with endocrinology.

    What a great lecture!!
    After getting a cavity every month for a year, I told my young Palm Springs UCLA dentist last November 2019 with great confidence that I would never have another cavity or lose another tooth. He said nothing, backing away, thinking I was going nuts but I was confident because I had started keto in July 2019. So, last week, July 2020, I had full x-rays and the dentist examined my teeth and gums and said, "Hmm! Looks like you were right! Your teeth are good, no new cavities, gums much better....I think you've turned me into a believer." Interesting.

    As an interesting little addition, studies (Paoli et al) that tested keto on gymnasts for strength block, utilizing 2.8g/kg of protein, the athletes remained in ketosis- so I suppose it also depends in training status, (carb was only 4.5% of total caloric intake in that study)

    First of all we all should thank Dr. Bikman for sharing this wonderful masterpiece on Insulin/Glucagon ratio leading to Ketogenesis and contextual impact of protein intake. There is so much information out there on the Internet on insulinotropic effect of Proteins and why protein should be avoided on a Low Carb/Fasting mode. Coming from a professor whose research primarily is on Insulin/Insulin resistance, this information is straight from horse's mouth, fully supported by science. I have watched this video 5-6 times before but that was when I was not following Ketogenic diet ( I am a vegetarian - so find it very difficult to manage a low carb diet). My best try at ketogenesis was thru Intermittent fasting and my Ketone levels never exceeded 0.3 and most days it was not traceable!
    Just a month back, I started with fasting and water fasted for 5 days and on 4th day of fasting, my ketone levels reached 4.5 - it was pure bliss and a sense of accomplishment, that I finally trained my body to use Fat as a fuel after 10-12 years - metabolically flexible. I lost 6 kilograms in just 5 days, tough that was not the main goal. I followed up the 5 day fasting with 1 meal a day for 7 days and mostly ate low carb - mostly low carb nuts, whey protein, cucumbers and cabbage, MCT oil and ghee (clarified butter). However, noticed that my Ketone reading dropped to 0.8 and I also gained back 3 kilograms. I started suspecting whey protein for the drop in Ketone levels and again got into the dilemma of whether to include protein in diet or not. Again watched this video and it feels so reassuring now that I can keep eating my protein. Dr. Bikman cautions on including more protein for people who are insulin resistant and prediabetic (that I am) in the beginning. I will start with small portions and will start measuring ketone levels to make sure how my body is responding. Million thanks Dr. Bikman and wish I was your student!!!

    Thank you for such a brilliant talk! It is a VERY important information you delivered here>
    As a former bulimic and life long obese, I can confirm from my own experience that after getting off sugar addiction, getting fully satisfied on protein was key to staying on a low carb diet.
    Once I failed on low carb because I was vegetarian and ate fats but too little protein so that cravings became so unbearable I caved in.
    In order to stay low carb, it seems we have to go against conventional diet advice not only by ditching "healthy full grains" but also by packing on meat/fish/eggs(cheese) way above what most dietitians have ever told me.

    • @disnalee
      @disnalee 3 года назад +1

      Stay away from whole grains or grains bc its turns into sugar and your blood glucose will spike. Look at your blood glucose result after every meal. I ate low carb diet so my glucose will not spike to 195+++

    • @tricky778
      @tricky778 3 года назад

      Dr. Caryn Zinn even said she couldn't find any proper evidence for the need for whole grains - only that a single poor diet with refined grains was improved by whole grains but that's different from saying all diets are improved by whole grains.

    Wow, wow, wow! An amazing lecturer, amazing visual aids, amazing teacher, amazing information. Thank you Dr. Bikman and LCDU!
    I "got into" diet and health eleven years ago when I went paleo, I was obese. I've read probably 3000 quality articles about diet and health, most peer reviewed. As of late, add RUclips videos. With the information in this video, suddenly SO many things talked about out there in the community make sense. Why the carnivore diet works, way way more than just elimination of carbs.
    It so happens that I've come to his final suggestions on my own, via my long, long winding road over the last decade. Being 73, I know to keep my protein up. My target minimum is 120g/day. That's about 1.5g/kg BW.
    (Quick alternate calculation: Take your ideal body weight in pounds, divide by 2. The result is about 25% more than the usual g/kg/BW calculation, but it's probably safer. That's minimum. Multiply by 1.2-1.5 for a good protein intake that lets you then eat more fats.)
    Something I've never seen clarified is WHAT body weight? Obviously a 300 pound person shouldn't be eating 270 g/day of protein. I presume that fat cells have no protein requirement, right? So, I use "ideal weight." One could also use calculated lean mass and adjust accordingly.
    I've been taking L-Acetylcarnitine sporadically, mixing the powder int scrambled eggs, for "egg"zample. Now it appears that it should be taken during my daily IF. I'm going to take some before I go to bed and again in the morning. Based on that one chart, my glucagon should skyrocket!
    This is a keeper video that needs rewatching!

    @Marco-jx9rr 6 лет назад +15

    Great..this mirrors exactly my experience with low carb...a 150-180gr protein intake keeps me satiated and energized and allows me to do longer fasts than on superhigh fats and low proteins

    • @Marco-jx9rr
      @Marco-jx9rr 6 лет назад +6

      Btw the only way I lost weight is by a (relatively) high protein moderate fat and low carb. Removed cheese etc and ate mostly meat. I got quite lean. My labs were also the best sofar. High fat keto makes me gain weight, suspected that calories count for me more than hormones. Fat has 2X calories than protein. But this great lesson explains so well that on low carb (I am on almost zero now) proteins won't change insuline/glucagon ratio so at the end more proteins=less fats=less calories and identical hormonal response. 😎

  • @armadillotoe
    @armadillotoe 4 года назад +3

    You are saying it not only takes low insulin to produce ketosis, but high glucagon, and carnitine? That is great information to have. I have seen so many debates on the effect of protein. This seems to explain so much. The body is complicated, and like most things, the answer is "it depends."

      I ate mostly watermelon and guavas all summer. It was too hot to eat anything else so my body had a real craving for it. I even lost weight and had heaps of energy. I listen to my body. U will be fine on fruit. I eat meat fruit veg and nuts. Whatever is natural and whatever my body craves. Here and there I even have a piece of KFC if my body craves it not putting on any weight. Very important to cut out the obvious junk and then see what ur body needs. In my experience anyway. I don't believe in diets.

    Fantastic lecture! I have been keto for 2 years plus and turning 50 this year. I have been doing omad for the majority of time but recently became worried my protein intake was stunted by the absorption rate of having a single large bolus of protein during omad. I have been torn about taking a protein powder in the morning after exercise because I like to keep insulin as low as possible. Now i know my taking some protein powder in a low carb setting is probably not terribly bad for insulin spiking. I can now take my protein powder in the morning without the guilt!

      Use ghee instead. Takes 1/2 hour to make on the stovetop with store-bought butter. Gets rid of the pesky milk proteins and water, and the end product smells and tastes amazing. All that’s left is good, stable fat.

    • @IonidisIX
      @IonidisIX 4 года назад +1

      @Ben Louis it depends on the smoke point of each fat. The general rule is that you don't want to cook/burn polyunsaturated fats, you want to cook monounsaturated fats (i.e. extra virgin olive oil) to up to 180 degrees celcius and any higher than that you want saturated fats (lard, butter etc.). A more detailed list of cooking oils and their correct cooking temp can be found here: www.chhs.colostate.edu/krnc/monthly-blog/cooking-with-fats-and-oils/

    I have been concerned about my glucose being in the 90's when I'm on a Carnivore diet, this explains that even though my glucose is elevated my insulin is not! This is very good news because in spite of elevated glucose I'm loosing over a half a pound a day and have been for two months. ( I realize that glucose readings in the 90's is not high but I felt it should be lower in a fasted state).
    I'm super happy to have found this...
